Package: ifplugd Version: 0.28-2.3 Severity: normal Hello,
Reading /etc/init.d/ifplugd I see that it supports config variables containing names that end in _if, like $ARGS_eth0. These are used to tailor arguments to the ifplugd daemon monitoring specific interfaces. The debian packaging does not seem to preserve these arguments. So, updates can break existing ifplugd configuration. (It's also pretty nasty that comments are not preserved across updates.) I thought policy was to leave config files alone?
